Directions

Prepare the Chocolate Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a

    10×15-inch (25×38-centimeter) baking pan with Gefen Parchment Paper.

  2. Beat eggs, sugar, oil, applesauce, and vanilla for five minutes, until light and lemony. Add flour, cocoa, coffee, baking powder, and salt and mix just until combined. Add dates and mix gently. Fold in halvah.

  3. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 18 minutes.

  4. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Carefully cut into 48 small squares. Sprinkle with Lotus crumbs.

Prepare the Glaze

  1. Place the chocolate, boiling water, coffee, oil, and honey in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave at 30-second intervals until the mixture is melted and smooth.

  2. Add vanilla and stir until combined. Drizzle glaze over the crumbs. Allow to dry before storing or freezing.

  3. These chocolate squares freeze well.

Notes:
If the halvah is soft, it’ll dissolve in the cake and add flavor and a creamy texture. However, if you want to see pieces of halvah in the cake, either freeze the halvah first or fold it into the batter by hand.
